The cushioning performance of insole has always been a critical consideration in its design. While the development of intelligent methods and the emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technology have enhanced design freedom and convenience, a stan...
With bio-medical wearables becoming an essential part of Internet of Medical things (IoMT) for monitoring the health of workers, patients and others in different environments, antenna play a pivotal role in such wearables. In this communication, a no...
Real-time monitoring of gait characteristics is crucial for applications in health monitoring, patient rehabilitation feedback, and telemedicine. However, the effective and stable acquisition and automatic analysis of gait information remain signific...
Step counting devices were previously shown to be efficient in a variety of applications such as athletic training or patient's care programs. Various sensor placements and algorithms were previously experimented, with a best mean absolute percentage...
This study introduces a deep self-organizing map neural network based on level-set (LS-SOM) for the customization of a shoe-last defined from plantar pressure imaging data. To alleviate the over-segmentation problem of images, which refers to segment...

Shoe prints are one of the most common types of evidence found at crime scenes, second only to fingerprints. However, studies involving modern approaches such as machine learning and deep learning for the detection and analysis of shoe prints are qui...
The three Ground Reaction Force (GRF) components can be estimated using pressure insole sensors. In this paper, we compare the accuracy of estimating GRF components for both feet using six methods: three Deep Learning (DL) methods (Artificial Neural ...
This paper proposes a scheme for predicting ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (CoP) using low-cost FSR sensors. GRF and CoP data are commonly collected from smart insoles to analyze the wearer's gait and diagnose balance issues. This...
